why are oranges called oranges? is an orange an orange because its the color orange or is the color orange because it is named after the fruit?
did they run out of names on the fruit naming day? why isnt a banana called a yellow?
its like it was 358pm on a Friday and quitting time is at 4pm...Gah!! one more fruit to name.. lets just call it an orange and get the hell out of this place.


and the movie Terminator 1 and 2
T2 explains things by saying it all became about because the parts of the first terminator (T1)
were found and reversed engineered. And John Connor was born because the fighter from the future came back and porked sarah. but but but... how did the future things come back to the past in the first place ...the future things could not take place without the past things happening but the future things would have to have been there first to be able to come back to spark the whole thing in the first place.

what? whats that? oh ..got to go.. Dr. says it is time for me to take my meds ;-)
 
the color is named after the fruit. also, the name of the fruit originally started with an n, but it moved over to the article. (it didn't happen in english, but if it did, it would be like it originally being called "a norange" and that turning into "an orange".) some languages still have the word starting with n : spanish naranja, arabic naranj, etc.

edit: wiki.
 


Answer to the Terminator question- branching alternate time-lines.

 
In 1200 AD oranges were called navels because of the shape at the top. Queen aspherita was offended, because as a child she had a navel hernia and thus had an outy. The kind made a decree and since then navels were called oranges.

It has to be, because T3 screwed it all up. Skynet then couldn't begin from reverse engineered future tech, but rather from some completely unrelated military antivirus project?
